This document contains information about an ISM 5021 class project on RFID technology. A group of six students - Curtis Bowden, Megan Diehl, Daniel Duffy, Jeremy Fout, Elizabeth West, and David Willink - collaborated on a wiki about interesting applications of RFID. Each student researched and wrote a section on a topic that interested them related to RFID use in animals, retail, schools, privacy/security, and more. The group's goals were to create an informative yet entertaining wiki that covered a broad cross-section of RFID applications.

4. The group wanted to survey some of the
interesting ways RFID was used.
This allowed each one to research what
interested them most about RFID.
Each one contributed a section which gave our
wiki some organization.
In true wiki fashion, group members were
encouraged to edit and add to each other’s
work.
5. Team focus needed to create an informative
and educational Wiki that was also
entertaining.
Harmonizing the Wiki so all thoughts flowed
together.
Covering a broad enough cross-section of our
subject matter to ensure that we arrived at a
thoughtful and informative Wiki.
Collaborating effectively while working
separately
6. Share your thoughts and ideas because more
input leads to more collaboration
and, ultimately, a better final group product.
Wikis don’t need to be boring!
RFID has an absurd amount of applications!
If you missed it on the website, RFID tags can
fit onto the back of a honeybee!
7. Pick Wiki software that is easy to use so that
everyone is able and motivated to contribute.
Organize it well so that it is easy to follow for
the reader.
Make it attractive. Wikis don't have to be ugly.
Make it fun. Wikis need not be a boring
summary of a random topic; they can be an in-
depth look at real-world applications of a
technology that are entertaining to learn about.
